Straight flush hand 200 NL 6-max

Lines good here? My hope was to get a bigger flush to raise me on the turn or lure in an ace high flush draw. On the river I made a small bet trying to get a raise out of an ace high flush.

Why did you reraise the flop like that? I like to bet draws but usually don't reraise them, especially wihtout the nut draw.

^^ There was no reraise, just a regular raise.

the man has lots of action and enough action.
Id be reraising here to if only to define who has what

Finally, someone else knows grammar!

Anywho, your equity on a straight flush draw is good enough to warrant the raise... if anything, for the free river.

Does it matter?

gdavidson23 has the initiative, perfect spot to just call.

On the turn I would bet at least $20.

That's a reraise. As Fnord has alluded to, it's not critical to make people "define their hand" on every flop - especially when they are building a pot where you are drawing to a potential monster. I think in 6max, each successive street will make things clearer without the investment for information on the flop. Some situations call for it, but I don't think this one does.

What if one of these guys pushes your reraise? You going to call with the non-nut flush draw and a gushot? You could make a case, but it would be based on implied odds only. I'd let all these guys call and hope I hit my gutshot str8 or somehow the str8-flush. If I don't hit the nuts, I'm not going for a huge pot. With all these guys seeing the flop, one of them has you beat now and maybe later too.

a reraise only happens after a raise. a raise only happens after a bet.

do the math.

Right - sorry. No math involved, just syntax. If you can ignore the oversight, you can probably still follow what I said.
